It’s time for a condensed final week of 2023 action in the National Hockey League season! Paired with Canada Sports Betting’s written and video coverage of the NHL, and some of our handy features like the strength of schedule tool and the NHL projected standings, you’ll be able to take on this week’s action with ease with another edition of our schedule breakdown. Below is every NHL game on the weekly docket, its broadcast time, and a look at what rest-based advantages that teams have. Let’s dive in!
Rest Notes: Everyone is all nice and rested coming off of their Christmas breaks! How Winnipeg managed to be the one team that was slightly different here, well, we have no idea, but good for them.
Rest Notes: It doesn’t take long for the above joyous and even rest to descend into chaos. Two five-day mismatches? Yep! Four back-to-backs? You’ve got it! Vancouver having a day fewer off than Philadelphia? Honestly, somehow the most normal thing here, I wouldn’t think too much of it. Only one game on before 10:00 p.m. Eastern? What a night.
Rest Notes: Everyone playing on Friday also played on Wednesday, except for the Flyers, who have a road back-to-back which brings them from Vancouver to Seattle.
Rest Notes: Things start to get chaotic here, with eight teams playing their second game in as many nights. Carolina and Los Angeles are playing their third games in four nights as well.
Rest Notes: Again, a lot of teams playing on pretty limited rest here, including eight more back-to-backs. Philadelphia plays their third in four. On the plus side, all the games will be long over by the time New Year’s Day starts to hit North America! Enjoy the week and we’ll see you again in 2024.
